They are producing a multibus 16032 board. The details of it are as follows: CPU 16032 CPU; Sockets for 16081 FPU; 16082 MMU. Memory 512 Kb RAM, no wait state, parity checked; RAM is Dual Ported for multibus access. Expansion to 2 Megabytes with 256K chips. I/O 4 Serial I/O channels (50 - 38.4K baud); 1 Real Time clock with battery back-up; 1 Winchester Disk Port. Software Contained in ROM is a moniter and debugger. Also included is a BASIC interpreter. A port of UNIX (Berkeley 4.1) is in progress. Price $3295 from GVC 222 3rd Street Cambridge, MA (617) 576-1804 Does anyone have any experience with this board or this company? I have been told that the National board (DB 16000) is not very good for assembling a 16000 based multibus system. Warren Berger inmet!wkb
